Seminar Fast Track Online

On March 27, 2012, me and my friend, Latifa, did our first "SEMINAR FAST TRACK ONLINE". We did the presentation at 09.15 - 09.30 WIB @Chevron Dekanat FTUI after our friend (Sigma and rara) from the same major as us did their presentation. Our presentation was about "Proses Penyiapan Media Penyimpan Hidrogen Berbahan Dasar Karbon Aktif Batubara melalui Perlakuan Mekanokimia". Before we presented that, we already discussed it with our Supervisor. FYI, that presentation was a part of our research (not the final stage of our research). That presentation was presented by me and latifa. Firstly, latifa explained about the background and experiment from our research. And after that, I explained about the results and discussions from our research and last but not least the conclusion. Actually on that day, all of you can saw us live on http://www.seamolec.org/ft/ui. The presentation was not only from UI's Students but also from ITB, UGM, ITS. So interesting, right? :D So, for the next "Seminar Fast Track Online", if any of you wanna see Fasttrack's Scholar at Kemendiknas in a next Seminar Fast Track Online just stay tune on http://www.seamolec.org/ft. And maybe "Seminar Fast Track Online - Batch 2" will be held on June 27, 2012!

Microbiologically induced corrosion of copper pipes in low – ph water

haloha, i'm back with another journal review. In this time, i will inform you more about microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC). MIC can occured because of influence of microorganisms on corrosion process of metal, cause by microorganism adhering to the interfaces, usually called as biofilms. MIC can occur in various types of environment and materials. This journal review will be specific "MIC of Copper material in drinking water environment". NB: Main reference: Reyes, A., M.V. Letelier, R.De La Iglesia, B. Gonzalez, G.Lagos. “Microbiologically induced corrosion of copper pipes in low-Ph water”.

Material Selection for Insulation for Short-term Isothermal Containers

A few days ago, my lecturer taught me about how to select a suitable material for a certain application. It's kinda a good lecture because i just know about it's not that easy that we thought to choose a proper material for a certain application. Here it is some case study for material selection. Hope it'll be useful.

*Cheers*

Journal Review "Failure Analysis of Stress Corrosion Cracking Occured in a Gas Transmission Steel Pipeline"

Nowadays, journal review activity is like a daily activity in my lectures especially in advanced corrosion. Again in this post i will review a journal from Meresht, Sadeghi E., T. Shahrabi Farahani, J. Neshati about “Failure analysis of stress corrosion cracking occured in a gas transmission steel pipeline” Elsevier Engineering Failure Analysis (2011): 963 - 970.

Note: Thanks for Beasiswa Unggulan Kemendiknas for this Scholarship! :D

Journal Review - Stress Corrosion Cracking

Stress Corrosion Cracking "T-Type Naphta Pump Strainer Mesh Failure Analysis"

In this post, i will review a journal from Muhammad A.Butt, Muhammad A.Virk, Arshad Chungtai, Ijaz H.Khan, Munir Ahmad. They are from Institute of Chemical Engineering and Technology, university of Punjab, New Campus Lahore, Pakistan and Technical Services Centre, Pakistan Standard and Quality Control Authority, 125 A Industrial Area, Kot Lakhpat, Lahire, Pakistan. The title is "T-Type Naphta Pump Strainer Mesh Failure Analysis".

Here it is!

Note: This post is related with one of my subject namely advanced corrosion

Graduated from Metallurgy and Materials Engineering and Next Planning

My graduation was on Saturday February 18, 2012 in which exactly one month ago, on January 18, 2012 I was facing a thesis defense. I finally feel relieved because I've finally got a bachelor degree in engineering (SARJANA TEKNIK "ST").
On February 3, 2012,I officially became a master degree student because I'd got a new NPM, username for SIAK- NG and student identity card (KTM).
I've been getting estimate topic of my thesis for master degree. I will continue to consult with my supervisor to discuss further on the topic of my thesis. Should be made clear that the topic of my thesis is concerned with topic of my bachelor degree's thesis. I have the same supervisor, but the topic of my thesis for master degree, of course newer and more refined.
In addition, this semester I took four courses which are research methodolgy and computation, materials selection and design, advanced corrosion, and corrosion protection.
So keep reading this blog, and you'll get the latest information from me.

*Cheers*

Thesis for Bachelor Degree

Finally my thesis for bachelor degree has finished!!!!
A title for my thesis is Wet Mechanochemical Treatment on Coal-Based Activated Carbon for Hydrogen Storage.
Here is an abstract for my thesis:
Activated carbon from bituminous coal with submicrometer and nanometer size was developed for hydrogen storage materials. The purpose of this research is to increase the effectiveness of mechanochemical process on coal-based activated carbon sample used a planetary ball mill with ratio of carbon and KOH 1:1 and thermal activation process is not necessary. Activated carbon results from mechanochemical process will be made in the form of pellets with the addition of binder which is containing fructose, sucrose and oligo of by compacting. After mechanical milling process coal activated carbon obtained by the size of 414.7 nm which increased by 98.9%. Increasing the effectiveness of the hydrogen storage material can be seen from the increased capacity of adsorption of hydrogen at a temperature of-5 oC where there was an increase of ± 386.48 times and at a temperature of -25 oC there was an increase of ± 398.56 times compared with the untreated sample.
